Re: Matthew McLeod-Allison
The 2020 draft came and went. It was a marathon instead of a sprint which made the draw much less of a spectacle than it normally is. 2020 is the strangest year I can remember, in every way, which makes everything the new normal. But I’m pretty happy with who we picked and I reckon you should be as...

Re: Rowan Marshall
I agree he needs to stay at CHF for the whole year . McKernan is the insurance if Marshall gets injured . We need a ruck to ruck the whole game like Ryder. But if Ryder gets injured we are exposed because we don’t have a pure tap backup ruckman . When Ryder was injured and Marshall went into the ruc...

Re: Mock Draft
Talk of recruiting a ruckman is madness, they take years to develop. Personally I wouldn't go for a tall forward either, they'll take too long. We're about to enter the premiership window. Go for the best available midfielder or tall backman. If they are good enough they'll be able to compete for a...

Re: St Kilda: Jonathon Marsh has been delisted
If we use 2 picks in the draft I’d hope we only use the 1st pick on a kid and not use the 2nd pick on a delisted player, I’d rather look at trying an mature unknown player from the state leagues again and try and find the next Marshall/Wilkie/Sam Fisher/ Lambert etc.

Re: Banger
Does Harvs have any sort of relationship with Ratten? They are the same age and played at the same period (Harvs longer at both ends, but both long careers) It’s totally romantic but having Harvs at Moorabin for our burgeoning midfield brigade...yeah. As for North. They’ve been on the edge of reali...

Re: Official - Ed Phillips not offered a contract for 2021
I haven’t been the biggest DMac fan, but, let’s give him a break. Another big pre-season, and coming toward his peak age, he might be something yet. When I look at someone like McIntosh from Richmond, wow, not that skilled but an honest hard worker and now has a couple of medallions around his neck....

Re: Positive insightful BF post!
I think the scary thing about Richmond is that they keep winning flags with so many "low profile" players that wouldn't demand too much money. I doubt they are anywhere near having salary cap issues because players like Castagna, Baker, Lambert, Nankervis, Astbury, McIntosh wouldn't be bre...

Re: Do the right thing Gears!
He actually played his best footy in the forward line.
I wonder if there's a spot for him as a permanent forward pocket.

Re: List Size is 37, Cap down around 10%
We could probably cut: Leo Connolly, Oscar Clavarino, Darragh Joyce. We'd then pretty much have a full list of AFL ready players. Boy, training will be red hot. You'll have to earn your spot. Dunstan and Ross will have a point to prove and perhaps a chip on their shoulder. This is good. Fierce compe...

Re: HIGGINS DEAL DONE
This is a bloody good trade. We only go down 4 spots and still get one of the best kids in the country. Giving away a 2nd round pick, who cares, it's a lottery when you have a pick in the late 30's. More importantly, we will be using a first round pick this year and not trading it away. Which means ...

I think there’s more to this than the obvious. Soft cap spending has been slashed for next year All clubs have been forced to reduce their support staff accordingly.

Re: HIGGINS DEAL DONE
FWIW I reckon you should only draft a kid if you have picks 1-30. Anything past that point I would go for mature age recruits from state leagues.

Re: HIGGINS DEAL DONE
Fair enough, let’s do it. We get Higgins , we still get a good player at pick 21 this year and the key is that we are using it to draft a kid which then allows us to not have to use our first round pick next year. we keep the 2021 first round pick aswell as having a 2022 first round pick so that we ...

Re: Essendon offer for Hind
Hind is more important to us than Lonie. Since we have this "run and gun" game style and have decided to switch from small forwards that are pigeon holed to the pocket (i.e. Lonie). The way I see it is that with Hind's speed, he is a direct backup for Butler. He kicked 3 goals on his oppos...

According to this report, the Tiges might be looking for some "catch up" compo after getting shafted for Butler last year.
